“Buyer beware when dealing with Regier, however, as he’s proven to be excellent at getting a great return then. Just ask Nashville and Minnesota about that.”

Quality is more important than quantity. The haul for Pominville was not the cream of Minnesota’s crop. This is why I don’t want him dealing them away. He’d screw up and get crap in return.

Darcy is good at getting a great return on his trades, he just sucks at drafting.

He is so apathetic, gets emotionally frustrated (slaming doors) every shift he doesn’t score a goal, and his work ethic is absolute garbage. His backchecking efforts make Ovechkin look like Datsyuk.

Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:39:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286565#comment-212898It would be Regier’s ultimate failure if either (or both) of these guys walk next summer without the Sabres receiving any compensation. And I’m not talking about a 4th rd pick for their negotiating rights before they hit free agency, he needs to get atleast a legitimate prospect and a pick for each. As a rebuilding team they must rid themselves of Miller. He’s getting up there in age and he’s shown that he doesn’t handle losing well. Enroth deserves a shot to grow with the young core. As for Vanek, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him stay. He’s a relatively young (29), dynamic talent, who could take Pominville’s spot as captain and lead the rebuild. After all they still need someone to put ppl in the seats.

If Regier is resigned to the fact that he must get rid of both of them, then he needs to walk the tight rope of receiving fair value while also not demanding an unrealistic return. I’d imagine the issue with Miller is that he’s asking an obscene amount for a soon to be FA goalie who’s past his prime. But Miller is the guy they absolutely have to trade bc he will walk after the year. Vanek, I’m not so sure.

Sat, 13 Jul 2013 15:29:00 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286565#comment-212850I can see a deadline or earlier deal for Vanek… Miller I can see playing out the stretch and walking. I think both guys could be very successful in the right situation. Miller may not be the what he once ways but he is still a very good goalie.
I don’t blame either guy if they want to jump into free agency and have an opportunity to play for a winning team.
I also think this could be better for the younger players to move into leadership roles.

Sat, 13 Jul 2013 15:21:42 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286565#comment-212847I’d have to imagine with the cap going up after this season combined with the ridiculous contracts handed out during this years UFA opening that both Vanek and Miller would eventually want to test free agency. Pass.
